greenock,

Ray Bergman's Trout is a classic. I am patiently waiting for Helen Shaw's Flies for Fish and Fishermen to arrive on my doorstep. You can see some examples of flies from Shaw's book at http://www.flyanglersonline.com/arti...es20100201.php .

I must admit that most of my wet fly knowledge comes from Fogg, Wooley, Pritt, Skues and the like.

Dave Hughe's Wet Flies is also a very nice book.

Sylvester Nemes has also written several very excellent books on the subject.

Those flies are really nice and buggy looking. Can you post a pattern? In what sizes do you fish them?

What does "Bonk" mean in America? I'm past middle age so I'm not up on that word.

Sure no problem someone can let me know who to contact?

Do you mean the recipe? Depending on the water and the size of the waves i would fish them in 8/10 or 12. I'll write about it when i do the fly of the week.
